In
this time of nearly universal dissent and condemnation of the Bush
administration’s foreign policy and apparent mad dash toward war, we would
have to be fools or in denial to think that the national media is not being
utilized to promote propaganda to sway the American people into supporting some
kind of military action.

It
has become common knowledge to those who have followed world events for any
length of time, that the international financial corporate elite puppet-masters
and the military industrial complex have much to gain (monetarily) from a
war…any war. It is the same individuals that have invested in the current
administration through lobbying and campaign contributions that pay for the
majority of the advertising in the major media.

It
is therefore not difficult to understand why war is being promoted with fervor
akin to an advertising campaign to sell chia pets during the holiday season.

On
9/11/01, while the news networks were still debating about what kind of plane
had hit the WTC, they simultaneously released file footage (the same file
footage) of Osama Bin Laden (who had been trained, funded and put into a
position of power by the CIA), and hence began a campaign to legitimize an
attack on Afghanistan. Despite the reports that 15 of the 19 suspected
terrorists were Saudis, coupled with the fact that the Bush administration
refused to provide evidence linking the Taliban to the 9/11 attacks, Bush
mounted an unbridled attack on the Afghanis. Over a year later, the convenient
inability to locate Osama Bin Laden now has the Bush administration focusing the
compliant media attention on the old stand-by, back-pocket boogieman, Saddam
Hussein.

Hussein
enjoys the same background support as Bin Laden, both having been supported and
funded by the U.S. government during the era that George Bush Sr. had been
Director of the CIA, two-term Vice-President under Reagan and President of the
United States. Hussein and Bin Laden both have reported business ties with the
Bush family, the latter also tied to VP Dick Cheney and Tony Blair through the
Carlyle Group with oil and pipeline interests. (Bin Laden and his Taliban
continued to receive millions of dollars of support under the current
administration up to just a few months before the 9/11 attacks.)

Because
of the world attention to the controversy of the first Gulf War, the lack of
support and strong opposition to a “regime change” by the Bush
administration has grown to the point that much of the world is beginning to see
the U.S. under the middle-eastern label as the “Great Satan.” As a result,
the current administration now finds it necessary to refocus America’s
attention to North Korea, one of the other countries Bush has conveniently
labeled as a member of the “Axis of Evil”.

Neither
Iraq, nor North Korea have engaged themselves in acts of aggression against any
country and neither they, or any other country would benefit from an act of
terrorism in this country. Such an act would give the Bush administration the
excuse that they so desperately need to legitimize a full-scale orgy of death
aimed at anyone who would dare oppose their agenda. The Bush
family/dynasty/regime has too many commitments, campaign promises and
investments to allow peace to continue unchecked. They NEED a war, ANY war. And
there are those that believe that they will go to any length to instigate and/or
legitimize their desire to unleash the full might of the U.S. military
somewhere…anywhere in the world.

With
this in mind, we must ask ourselves who would benefit from another domestic
terrorist attack? The answer is too disturbing for most people to entertain.

Common
sense and critical thinking has broken out on a world-wide scale and the people
of the world are now realizing that the holocaust so many said could never
happen again, is menacingly looming behind the window dressing of blind American
patriotism… the same kind of blind patriotism seen in pre-WWII Germany.

The
fate of the entire free world may depend on the American people simply paying
attention to something other than the Super-Bowl this year, and then doing
something about it. This author doesn’t think that’s too much to ask,
considering the dire consequences.
